He wasn't looking for a pretty face

She wasn't searching for the latest style

He didn't want someone who walked straight off the tv

She needed someone with an interior smile



She wasn't looking for a cuddle in the back seat

He wasn't looking for a five minute thrill

She wasn't thinking of tomorrow or of next week

This vacancy he meant to permanently fill



I need an everlasting love

I need a friend and a lover divine

An everlasting precious love

Wait for it, wait for it, give it some time



Back in the world of disposable emotion

In the climate of temporary dreams

He wasn't looking for a notch on his bedpost

A love to push, pull, and burst at the seams



I need an everlasting love

I need a friend and a lover divine

An everlasting precious love

Wait for it, wait for it, give it some time



Is this love worth waiting for?

Something special, something pure



[chorus]



Is this love worth waiting for?

Bitterness will die for sure

Something precious, something pure

Is this love worth waiting for?



[chorus]
